Scheduling software built for private music teachers
A private music studio runs on a weekly rhythm: the same students, the same slots, the occasional makeup. Note & Key keeps that schedule in one place, ties each lesson to a student and their rate, and stays in step with the Google Calendar you already live in.
Free to start · Pro adds unlimited students and invoicing · Also on the iPhone App Store.
How it works
- 1Add your students once — instrument, lesson length, and rate — so every lesson you schedule already knows what it's worth.
- 2Build your weekly schedule in Note & Key, or connect Google Calendar to import the lessons you already keep there and keep them in sync.
- 3Mark each lesson completed, cancelled, or a makeup as you go — that attendance record is what later turns into invoices and year-end totals.
Common questions
What's the best way to schedule private music lessons?
Keep one schedule that's tied to your students and their rates, rather than a calendar that only shows names. In Note & Key each lesson links to a student, so when you mark it completed it already carries the date and rate — which means your schedule doubles as the source for attendance, invoices, and year-end totals.
Does it work with Google Calendar?
Yes. You can connect Google Calendar, pick which calendar your lessons live on, and import recurring lessons as students — then keep them in sync, so you're not maintaining two schedules.
Can I track attendance and makeups?
Yes. Each lesson can be marked completed, cancelled, or a makeup, and that record drives the rest of the studio — only the lessons you actually taught get invoiced.
Do students and parents see the schedule?
Families get their own view of their student's lessons, assignments, and invoices through the student/parent portal, so you're not fielding 'when's the next lesson?' texts.
